I just got this ep, and must say, even though it has shortcomings, it's
fucking brilliant !! some of the best squarepusher stuff ever :)
the first tune "a jouney to reedham" is actually one of 2 tunes on here that
I think are brilliant, the other being massif (stay strong) or at least I
think that's the name, the last letter is kinda tough to make out :)
Basically, a journey to reedham, despite the new simple synthy stuff that it
starts with at the beginning, seems to be a followup on the stuff he did
with Fat Controller (the Vic Acid version), but this is far more developed
(and far more beautiful IMO)..
fat controller was ok, but was kindof unstructured.
massif (stay strong) uses square waves in the melody which gives it some
space in the background, while crazy acid lines and breaks fill up the
foreground, not to say the melody is distant, it's close, but not as close
as the drums and the acid stuff.
